6	''Tellos'' is an Adventure/Fantasy graphic novel written by Todd Dezago with art by the late Mike Wieringo. It is set in a fairytale land of flying cities, dragons, magic, reptilian mooks, sword fights, and airboats. We follow Jarek, a young boy; Koj, his Man-Tiger companion; and Serra, a swashbuckling Pirate Captain as they get in trouble, meet new people and fend off all sorts of dreadful threats.

Volume one, published by Creator/ImageComics in 2008, collects the ten issues comprising the original run, plus an afterword by Dezago, a bunch of other stories (namely: ''Tellos: The Scatterjack Story'', ''Tellos: Prologue'' and ''Tellos: Prelude'') and a thirteen page sketchbook. Here's a list of the One Shots that followed:

18	%%* ActionGirl: Serra.
19	* AdventuresInComaland: At the end of the original series, it is revealed that [[spoiler:Tellos is a fantasy world that exists in the mind of a boy lying in a coma in the real world. He is Jarek in that world. In the real world, Serra is his sister, Koj his cat, etc]].
20	* ApeShallNeverKillApe: Hawke at one point manages to get out of trouble by invoking this trope when caught cheating at a betting game. Since it's forbidden for two members of the Ulfen race to raise arms against each other, he pretends to want a fight and then happens to remember that this is forbidden.
21	%%* BigBad: Malesur.
22	%%* TheBigGuy: Koj.
23	* CunningLikeAFox: Rikk is a trickster thief and LovableRogue. That said, many of the characters argue that he isn't quite as clever as he likes to think he is.
24	* EvilSorcerer: Malesur, the mad boy-wizard who seeks Jarek's destruction.
25	%%* HighFantasy: The setting.
26	%%* TheLancer: Hawke.

29	%%* {{Mooks}}: Frog Soldiers.
30	* PirateGirl: Serra, a tough-as-nails sea captain who is in love with a thief. She sails around the world of Tellos.
31	%%* TheSmartGuy: Rikk. Arguably ''not'' smart enough for a fox.
